My name is Kathryn Kubacki. I am originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico but have lived in听Colorado for over 14 years. I am currently a senior studying听mechanical engineering and am minoring听in biomedical engineering.听My passion for engineering began during my senior year of high school where I happened to take听an engineering class to fulfill elective credit. That elective class introduced me to computer听modeling and is ultimately the reason I decided to pursue mechanical engineering at 彩民宝典. Since听then, I have decided to combine computer modeling with my passion for medicine; in the future, I听hope to use my skills to further the medical device industry. Currently, I am working with my听senior design team to develop a 3D-printed respiratory system to be used as an intubation听training device. I am super thrilled to work on this project and听believe what we create will end up听helping a lot of people.听Outside of engineering, I am a mellophone player with the 彩民宝典 marching band. I have been听playing french horn since I was ten and have happily been a part of a marching band for the past eight听years. I am also a part of Kappa Kappa Psi, an honorary service听and leadership organization that听serves the college and university band programs.听I have learned so much through my years at 彩民宝典 and am excited to take the next step into听the听medical industry in May once I graduate.听
